I had a jewel of a day on my 48th birthday. I went into Rome and hopped on the 64 bus. I jumped off at Piazza Navona and walked to Sant Agostino. I prayed there for a long time–it was glorious. I loving being there with Monica and at the shrine of Rita!
    Then I went to the hair salon–whew!
    Then I walked around for hours and then met up with Ron for dinner. What a pleasure to eat outside with him under the stars! We went home to a lovely party the kids threw–a midnight birthday bash. Everyone was in rare form, laughing and playing.
   I must be the most blessed person in the world.
